The Taos Hum
A Hudson & Brand Abroad! Adventure!
A strange background hum starts to affect the non-native residents of Taos City, in the New Mexico Territory. A respected professor, intrigued by the seemingly localized aural affliction, sends a telegram to the investigators, asking for their help in uncovering the source. Conflicting stories, a trio of conspirators, and a cultural divide will complicate their investigations in to hum. Will the investigators be able to help the people of Taos and the nearby Pueblo?
The Taos Hum is an adventure for Cthulhu by Gaslight, a Victorian setting for Chaosium's horror roleplaying game, Call of Cthulhu.
Laid out like one of the popular Victoria-era Penny Dreadfuls, the scenario is supported by handouts, maps, NPCs and a new threat for your Call of Cthulhu games.

Weird Fiction Quarterly - Summer 2023
It’s Summer and what better way to celebrate than with the latest issue of Weird Fiction Quarterly?
From the same demented gang that brought you the Winter and Spring installments, bring this new Summer edition with you to the beach, and perhaps, use it as a rolled-up weapon to hit your younger sibling AFTER you’ve read it. (This last suggestion is not endorsed by the Weird Fiction Quarterly Staff. We never advocate violence. Never. -The Editor)
Sit back and enjoy the strange stories you’ve come to expect from our writers where family vacations are a bit bloody; The Ancient Ones want blood; nature wants blood; nothing is at it seems; you can escape the heat, but it might eat you; aliens and monsters come visiting; frogs talk; we learn why we all SCREAM for ice cream, and please, please, we ask you NOT to go into the water.
Featuring flash fiction from a host of authors, including:
Tony Bradbury, Michael Alan Carlyle, Rhys Hughes, Scott J Couturier, Dean M Drinkel, Frank Floyd, Simon Bleaken, Roger Keel, Jill Hand, Andy Joynes, Dale W Glaser, Duane Pesice, Erica Ruppert, Nora B Peevy, Jayaprakash Satyamurthy, Robert J Sodaro, Shayne Keen, Can Wiggins, Sarah Walker, Jay Sturner, John Paul Fitch, Glynn Owen Barrass – and more!
See you on the beach!

"It is 1826, and the august members of the Pickman Club gather for their Annual Dinner. As is usual, members are asked to share any recent strange or singular experiences with the group. And so, dinner done, the assembled gather round the fireplace as each, in turn, narrates their tale.
Here are those stories, collated by one who was there, presented for your interest and enjoyment. But be warned! The tales within reveal many disturbing secrets about our world and the things that lay beyond and, in some cases, beneath it.
Read then, if you will, of beings of the outer cosmos, and of the peculiar traditions of decaying, seaside towns. Learn of cursed family artefacts and the dangers of experimenting with exotic drugs. And hearken to the chilling reality revealed by the digging of the Thames Tunnel…"
